I was just cataloguing a T207 Mike Donlin- I know, many feel it is the toughest card in the set- and the first sentence of his biography intrigues me. It reads: "One of the greatest hitters the game has ever known."

Now I know Turkey Mike was a fine ballplayer, but is there anybody today who feels he was one of the all-time great hitters? Is he up there with Cobb and Wagner? I found it interesting because how he was perceived in his day differs from how he is viewed today.

No great revelation here, just an observation.
